Columbus Rescue Mission

Welcome to the Columbus Rescue Mission!


We are a group of Christians who believe God wants us to welcome strangers and serve those in need. All our services are offered FREE in the name of Jesus Christ.   

 
It has been awhile since I have asked you to pray for us specifically but, I am asking you to pray for the Columbus Rescue Mission, the building, staff, disciples, donors, and guests. Our enemy has been very active against us.

 

On a Monday night a few weeks ago I was working late and about to head for home when the phone rang. The woman on the phone was very upset. She had taken her young children, and fled another community, running from abuse. I asked her to come to the mission, explaining to her that we had no vacancy, but that we would help. 

 

As we worked with her and found a room for them at a motel, I asked her if they were hungry (It was about 11pm). I was a little shocked at her answer. I immediately made preparations to feed her and the kids. 

 

I am so thankful for all of you! It is all of us together that make this Mission possible! Chaplain Ted, and the team at the mission cannot do this on our own. So your prayers, financial gifts, gifts of food, cars, household items, furniture, appliances, and volunteering give Jesus a great reputation. It is not as if He needed us, but in Ephesians 2:10 He says  “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. “ 

 

I am going to be removing credit card transactions from our ways to give. If you want to give electronically, you can do it through your bank and give to us one time or monthly. If you would like help to do this, I would be glad to help you. Just go to our web page at www.columbusrescuemission.org and follow the on-line giving instructions. Please call me if you need any help at all. 

 

The golf fundraiser financial donations were down at the time that I was writing this letter. Perhaps it is due to the economy, but the business community isn’t helping as much as in the past. Please encourage your employers to help the mission with this event; we need their help. We also need teams to play. The flyer is on the back.   

 

Chaplain Ted

I am looking forward to the Golf fundraiser again this year.   I would ask a favor of you again this year. Would you post this flyer at work or your church?

 


The team from Peace Lutheran won the traveling church trophy. So if you golf, how about putting a team together from your church and come and play? 

 

Praise God for Mom’s
